Canada has declared November 20th as National Child Day to celebrate the rights of children. PHAC’s Nationals Child Day web page provides information and resources on child rights to help children and teenagers to learn about their rights.
The National Child Day Child Rights Activity Guide provides step-by-step instructions for various activities that teachers, educators or group leaders can use with a group of children or adolescents. There are also many ideas to inspire children and youth to take action to learn about and defend their rights.
The following two posters provide information using simple language to help children and teenagers learn about the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
